Desafios para o desenvolvimento da indústria da defesa no Brasil no século XXI

Abstract

This course conclusion paper aims to present the main challenges for the development of the defense industry in Brazil, especially from the elaboration of the regulatory framework that aims to mitigate as difficulties found in this industry niche. It discusses what are the measures taken by the main stakeholders, state, industry and universities, as well as what are the consequences of their interaction. The study is important because it considers a subject little discussed in civil society, mainly dealt with by the military and government, which involves the search for new technologies, possible spillovers and mainly intertwining among the main actors, standing out as universities. It starts from the exploratory research method that collects data from the existing bibliography and aims to carry out the construction of the bibliographic survey on the subject and, consequently, the production of knowledge on the subjects covered. The work is divided into four moments. In the first, the historical contextualization will be presented since the creation of the first almost homemade weapons and ammunition factories in Brazil, until the present day when modern companies export their technologies. It will then be selected as key laws and decrees that will be part of the regulatory framework of the defense industry. No thirds about the capabilities of industries, an innovation model, the current scenario and military demands. The fourth presents the main challenges faced by the sector, the state and the defense, represented by the Armed Forces. Research shows that a defense industry applies greater integration and this hinders the development of a sectorial system capable of generating innovative products and meeting the strategic demands of the defense sector. The biggest challenge is to create and implement public policies that allow to reverse or offset the adverse effects, so that investments become more difficult and dynamic, providing the proper economic growth for our country. After all, an adequate defense structure increases stability and guarantees protection of its territory, its population and strategic sectors of the economy.
